I would imagine the brand is what's stamped on it. Likely made after 1950 or so, being fiberglass.

[Cuttyhunker]

Is loc-tite the reel seat brand, like Varmac puts their name on the seats they made?

[sea ghost]

Yes
Loctite is stamped on the reel seat.......like its the brand.

[Cuttyhunker]

Could be the seat, not reel brand, Old stuff, tough to tell unless we have a reel seat guy lurking around here.

[sea ghost]

Understood,
I found info, the guy who invented loctite glue in a basement at a college in Hartford connecticut in 1953,
The old rod and reel came out of an old Victorian house on the out skirts of Hartford connecticut,

Then the bottom of the reel seat says....
Aero industries Hollywood ca
There's a reel seat called aero reel seats......still made today

I Also seen an old tonka cane wth the same reel seat as mine

[john elder]

Well, think positive... the tip may be made from a Truline blank... great sticks, much beloved. Unfortunately, ID #s would be under that big wad of a foregrip!

[sea ghost]

Your right, I understand what you mean about that big wad of foregrip.....
the info/ID #'s are most likely under there.....

Hello!

Did you ever come to a conclusion on your rod? I have an old rod I recently acquired with a fiberglass pattern and color that looks very similar, that I am also trying to figure out the manufacturer. If you solved it, please let me know. Or if anyone else recognizes this rod. The Pflueger Templar 1420 1/2 came with the rod...I just finished cleaning them both up.

nice rod sir,
I own another rod very much like yours here...... it is in this thread below,
a NARMCO CONOLON Citation Series No.8804-N ROD (24 thread) 1952 Circa

But, the first unknown tabacco blank rod that I have here in this thread through my persistant research in my humble opinion is a Gliebe Corning Fiberglas No.684 ROD (24 thread) 1946 Circa
